Summary: My final entry for the @mrs-squirrel-chester‘s album challenge.  This one has multiple chapters.  It starts out sad.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMba8vsep9I&feature=youtu.be  Link to the song.  One of my favorites





	1. Chapter 1

You met Steve in an alley next to your building.  He was cornered by some guy and you hit him over the head with your book before rushing to Steve’s side.  You were struck off guard by his bright blue eyes. You met Bucky a few minutes later when you had gotten Steve back out onto the street and he rushed over.  

“Thanks for helping him out.”  

“He needed it.” You smiled at Bucky.  

“I did not.” Steve objected.  You noticed his split lip then and pulled out your handkerchief to clean him off.  

“I’m sure.”  You sassed him back.  Steve smiled, but winced when it pulled at the cut on his lip.  

“So Bluebird, how about we buy you a milkshake in exchange for ruining that clean handkerchief of yours?”  Bucky grinned at you.

“Bluebird?”

“I don’t know your name.  And that dress is the right color.”  

You eyed him suspiciously and turned your attention back to helping Steve.  

–

The nickname stuck, and so did you.  The three of you were inseparable through school.  Slowly you found yourself falling for the shy blond you rescued that day.  It was the way he smiled at you when you told a joke.  How protective he was of the people he loved.  How he always wanted to do the right thing.  The shy smile he aimed at the girls he thought were pretty.  The one he never gave to you.  

You waited, for years, for him to notice you like that.  Until eventually you gave up waiting.  But you never stopped hoping.  You went on dates, and out dancing, hoping one day he would look at you and realize you were there.  

“Come on, let’s dance.”  Bucky grabbed your hand and pulled you out onto the dance floor.  You shot another look at Steve as he smiled at his date.  She just stared into her drink.  How could she ignore him when he was looking at her like that.

“Hey Bluebird, pay attention to me.  You’re going to scuff up my shoes and I just polished them.”  Bucky teased.

“Sorry, Buck.”  You smiled and tried to lose yourself in the song.  

–

It wasn’t long before Bucky enlisted.  You promised to write him.  Steve followed, not long after, recruited for a top secret project.  You promised to write him every day.  

You kept up your letters.  Even when Steve popped up on posters as Captain America.  Even when the Barnes’ received word that Bucky was missing in action.  And especially once you found out that Steve had rescued Bucky and all of those men.  This was all you could do for them.  

Bucky wrote as often as he could.  He sent you stories of the men he was serving with.  He tried to keep the stories light, but you could tell it was hard on him. Steve’s letters tapered off.  You saw them both in the news reels.  You saved every newspaper clipping.  It broke your heart one day when the picture showed Steve standing next to a lovely woman and he was smiling that shy smile at her.  You actually threw away the picture that showed her returning the smile.  

It took all the strength you had to ask Bucky about her in one of your letters.  You tried to sound like you didn’t care.  But he saw right through you.

_Bluebird,_

_The boys are teasing me for writing you again.  I sent a letter off yesterday, but I thought the letter I received today deserved a quick answer.  Her name is Peggy Carter.  She works for the SSR.  She was part of the program that recruited Steve._

_If we make it out of this war in one piece, you’ll probably get to meet her.  Steve has mentioned bringing her home to meet my family.  I know that is probably not what you want to hear.  But you should let him go Bluebird.  
_

_Bucky_

It wasn’t very long until Bucky’s family received word that he had died.  You treasured every letter he had sent and spent time with Rebecca reading them and crying.  Not long after that, the nation was in mourning as Captain America sacrificed his life to save the world.

–

The war had ended not long after that.  You were finished with school and decided you wanted to help.  From Steve and Bucky’s letters you remembered the office they had worked for, the Strategic Scientific Reserve.  You were determined to find them and help continue their work.  You thought it could help you move past their deaths.  It had taken you a long time to find the SSR, but you were here and ready for your first day.  

You were nervous in the waiting room, but it wasn’t long before you were called into an office.  You were shocked when you took in the woman behind the desk.

“Peggy Carter?”

“I’m sorry.  Have we met before?”  Her accent was inviting and her smile friendly.  You could see why Steve fell for her.  

“No, but I’ve heard a lot about you.  I grew up with Steve and Bucky.”

“I thought your name looked familiar.  You’re Bluebird.”

You smiled and huffed out a little laugh.  “I am.”

“Oh, he talked about you all the time.  He read your letters to us.  One time he swore he saw a bluebird out on a mission and wouldn’t stop talking about it.  Said his bluebird was watching out for him.”  

Your heart lept into your throat.  You had no idea. “Steve said that?”

She looked at you in confusion.  “No, not Steve.  Bucky was the one eager to get home to his bluebird.” 


	2. Chapter 2

**Summary for the Chapter:**

> I said I was going to make it better. I didn’t say I would do it right away.
> 
> This whole fic was actually inspired by the song and by this Gif set: http://mamalaz.tumblr.com/post/156497052177/mamalaz-howard-and-peggy-travel-to-the-future

The information Peggy gave you shocked you completely. It felt like you were mourning Bucky’s loss all over again. You agonized over every smile and every look he gave you. How could you have missed it, missed him? 

Well, you know how you missed the looks he gave you. You never stopped looking at Steve. 

Thankfully, you were quickly assigned in your new job and you threw yourself into it. You were Howard Stark’s new assistant. It seemed to be a job with a high turnover rate. But it kept you occupied. 

His latest creation seemed to be some sort of transporter. Unfortunately, every time he turned it on, it caught fire. Your job was to stand by with a fire extinguisher and then take notes after the fire was out. 

When you got to work this morning, Peggy was already there arguing with Howard. 

“Listen, Howard, you have gone through every fire extinguisher we have on base. We can’t get them refilled fast enough. You need to work on something else or slow down.” 

“No, no. I think I’ve got it. Just let me try this one more time.” Howard was moving quickly around the instrument, reconnecting wires and adjusting things. “I swear, I know what went wrong.” 

At his statement, your eyebrow went up and you tried sort of unsuccessfully to hide your scoff of disbelief. Peggy noticed and smiled at you. Howard thankfully didn’t notice. 

“All right. Last time. But I’m staying to watch.” Peggy crossed her arms.

“Fine, fine. Assistant, hand me the power source.” He directed his comment at you.

“You could at least bother to learn her name.”

“They all leave. Doesn’t matter.” He snatched the power source from your hand and moved to put it in place. 

“So should I stand behind something?” Peggy asked with a smirk. 

Unfortunately this distracted Howard enough that he started to put the power source in backwards. You moved forward to stop him, but he waved you off. 

“Go! Behind that desk!” Howard finished putting the instrument back together and flipped the switch to turn it on. 

When it didn’t immediately burst into flames, Howard jumped up with a celebratory yelp. A yell that was cut short as the instrument was encased in a gold light. Howard backed up quickly, but couldn’t outpace the yellow glow that quickly encompassed the entire room. 

With a loud bang, the room went black. 

–

You slowly open your eyes and stretch your limbs. Nothing felt injured as you stared up at the blue sky. You sat up suddenly when you realized you were staring at the sky and not the roof of the bunker you were previously in. In fact, nothing of the bunker remained and the three of you and the instrument were laying in the middle of an open field. Maybe his transporter had finally worked

There were a few buildings in the distance, but no signs of the bunker anywhere. No ruins to indicate it had been destroyed. Just nothing. 

You crawl over to Peggy and shake her shoulder gently to rouse her. She stirs slightly and you quickly check for injuries. Both her and Howard seem to be in the same state as you; dazed but not hurt. 

A sound like a distant jet, buzzes overhead. You can’t see anything until the noise gets louder. Your eyes widen in shock as something that looks like a futuristic robot settles in the grass a few yards away. You frantically cast about for a weapon, but quickly realize that throwing your shoe probably wouldn’t do much. 

“Who are you and what are you doing here? How did you get here?” The robot yells at you. 

You notice Howard and Peggy waking up and you help Peggy into a sitting position. You really aren’t sure how to answer the robot, so you ignore it. Howard quickly gets to his feet and moves towards the transporter. 

The robot doesn’t take that very well and raises its arm to point at him. “Step away from the weapon.” 

Thankfully, Howard listens and steps back to join you and Peggy. 

“Dad?” The three of you gasp as the face of the robot retracts and reveals a man’s face. A man currently staring at Howard in disbelief.


	3. Chapter 3

**Summary for the Chapter:**

> Better? I'm sorry I've been so mean

Both you and Peggy slowly turn your incredulous gazes towards Howard, who seemed for once to be at a loss for words. The man, robot, seemed to be much older than Howard. But he also seemed to be part robot, so his age isn’t the most unbelievable part of the situation. 

As you and Peggy stand, you notice a group of people running across the field towards you. It doesn’t take long for the first members of the group to arrive. It’s your and Peggy’s turn to be shocked when a man dressed in Captain America’s suit steps up behind the robot man. 

Peggy’s voice breaks as she says, “Steve?”

The robot, Howard’s son, had put out a hand to try to stop Steve, but it didn’t do much good. “No, it’s fine. They probably aren’t disguised Hydra agents or anything.”

Steve discarded his helmet and ran towards her. You feel your heart break at the look of joy and disbelief on their faces. The look of fondness in her eyes when she spoke of Steve would always hurt, but seeing that look returned by Steve cut deep. 

“Y/N?” You hadn’t noticed Steve had ended their embrace. Steve was looking at you like he had seen a ghost. He smiled and gathered you into a hug. 

You were smiling as he set you down. A voice from behind you shook you out of your reverie. 

“Bluebird?” 

You turn slowly to find the owner of the voice. His hair is longer, and he’s more muscular than the last time you saw him. But those blue eyes look just the same. You even recognize the hint of sadness as you step back from Steve’s embrace. A look you were sure you had just moments ago when Steve was hugging Peggy. Before you realize you are moving, you are in his arms. Bucky seems shocked for a moment, but he hugs you like you’ve returned from the dead. 

“You’re alive? And Steve? How? When?” You ask him incredulously.

“It’s a long story, doll. What are you doing here? You’ve all been dead for years.” 

“When...what’s the year?”

“2018.”

“We were just in 1947.” Bucky’s eyebrows shoot up in shock. “Is he a robot?” you ask with a smirk. 

“No, it’s a suit.” 

“Oh.” You smile and shake your head. “I think this is going to be an interesting story.” 

\--

Howard’s invention had been carted to Tony’s lab. Tony, who is just as much of an inventor as his father, and not part robot. 

The three of you felt like you were facing a firing squad in the conference room. Though they were loathe to part, Tony finally convinced Steve to let go of Peggy long enough to run some tests. It seemed Tony wasn’t entirely convinced that any of you were who you said you were. 

But Steve drew the line at sticking you all into a holding cell. So you had a room full of people keeping an eye on the three of you. In case you did turn out to be some sort of Hydra plot. 

Tony sauntered into the room and pressed a button on his wrist, causing lights to display in the air. “DNA checks out. They aren’t robots. I’m having Friday see if she can date some fabric samples. But until she says otherwise, I think they are the real thing.” Tony turns away from his display and turns to face you. “Except for you. Who are you?”

“Excuse me?” 

“I’ve searched the records, extensively.” He waves at the display behind him before crossing his arms. “There is a brief mention of you in the SSR and then you disappear. No death records. No family history. It looks very incomplete. Very suspicious.” 

“I am not sure what to tell you. I am real.” You stare at him incredulously. “I do not know what you are implying, but I do not appreciate it.”

“Hey, Tony, settle down,” Steve says. “Bucky and I know her. As for her records, we’ll figure it out. The real issue is how to get them back home.” Steve finishes with a sigh and you can see how much he hates the idea of losing Peggy again. 

“Oh, yes! There’s a new toy to play with.” Tony looks practically giddy now.

You laugh at him. “You are just like Howard.” Your smile slowly fades as you realize the room has gone quiet and everyone is staring at Tony. Tony is staring at you, and if looks could kill. 

“I’ll be in my lab.” Tony storms out of the room.

“I think I said something wrong.”


	4. Chapter 4

**Summary for the Chapter:**

> I'm just making it worse. I'm sorry

Thankfully, Pepper took over from there. You liked Pepper. If there was anyone who could handle someone like Tony or Howard, it was Pepper. 

She quickly steered the conversation towards Dr. Banner. He was eager to discuss the possible ramifications of us returning to the past with too much knowledge of the future. To be honest, a lot of it went over your head, but he managed to slow himself down and explain it to everyone. 

“So we don’t know what could happen?” Steve asked.

“That’s part of the problem. Without knowing the way time travel really works, we don’t know what, if any, effect this could have on any of us. For all we know, this is the way this timeline works out. They were always meant to show up now and anything they learn they were meant to learn.” Bruce paused to clean off his glasses. “But at the same time, they could learn something and take it back to their time. It could affect the timeline, but we wouldn’t know the difference because we are now living that timeline.”

The room was quiet as everyone tried to digest this information.

“So, what are we supposed to do? Should we isolate them until we send them back?” Pepper asked. You really hoped that wasn’t the case. While you wanted to go home, you also wanted the chance to spend time with Bucky again. You were desperate to talk to him. 

Bruce just shrugged. 

Steve didn’t seem to like that option and stood suddenly. You recognized the look on his face as the one where he was about to start a fight. Thankfully, his new teammates seemed to know him as well and the gorgeous redhead stood to interrupt him. 

“Perhaps, just caution in the information we give them?” She nodded at Steve. “Plus, we’ll need Howard to tell us what he did to get them here in the first place. And it will go faster if Tony can help.” 

Most of the people in the room nod and it seems settled. 

“So, sleeping arrangements.” Pepper asks, looking a little pointedly at Steve. 

You smiled when you realized he still blushes like he used to. 

\--

Pepper had sorted out the rooms, organized dinner for everyone, and gave the three of us a brief tour. It was late, but so much had happened, you were restless. It left you pacing in the common room after everyone else had gone to sleep. 

“You look a bit lost.” You hadn’t heard Bucky enter the room so you jumped when he spoke.

“And you used to be a lot louder. I could hear you stomping up the stairs in your old apartment building from the fourth floor.”

“I would like to say that it was just the old building, but I definitely step softer now.” 

You noticed the flicker of sadness in his eyes. “You want to talk about it?”

“No. It’s nice having someone who doesn’t know anything about my past. No judgement.”

“I wouldn’t judge you.”

“You don’t know what I’ve done.”

“You really think that would matter to me?” You stepped closer to Bucky. “I think you are just being stubborn. I bet you don’t even talk to Steve.”

“I don’t.” You roll your eyes at Bucky’s answer. “But that isn’t the point. This way, you can just remember me like I used to be when you go back.”

You sigh. “You mean with that awful hair cut? Your mother would be appalled.” You smiled when Bucky glared at you. He may not have been willing to talk to you about what happened to him, but you would take any conversation you could get. Even if that meant provoking him. 

“And have you told her you’re working with Howard Stark, noted philanderer and playboy. I’m sure she’d love to hear that.” 

“Howard isn’t that bad yet. Oh, maybe he starts with me?” You smirk when you see Bucky get angry

“You wouldn’t.” 

“Maybe that’s why there are no files on me. I’m his secret mistress. He keeps me hidden from the world. I wonder if I have any of his illegitimate children.”

“That’s not funny.”

“I wasn’t trying to be funny. Since you won’t tell me anything, maybe I’ll make up my own future. It doesn’t sound too bad if he ends up as rich as this.” You gesture at the building around you. “I’ll be comfortable.” 

“I can’t tell you anything.”

“You don’t want to tell me anything. Tony said I had a file. Maybe I can look at it and fill in the blanks.”

“You’re always like this. You’re so frustrating.”

“Like what?” you ask.

“Why can’t you leave it alone? We don’t know what happened to you. Trust me, I looked. I was so damn jealous that Steve got extra time with Peggy. I scoured records just searching for a tiny glimpse of you. I just wanted one more day. One more minute. Anything”

You gasp at his confession and then chuckle. “And we spend our extra day yelling at each other for being stubborn.” 

Bucky smiles gently. “Well, I guess we haven’t changed much.” 

A comfortable silence falls over the both of you. You thought for a moment he was going to lean in and kiss you. It certainly felt like it. But he pulled back. 

“You were always looking at Steve.”

“I’m looking at you now.” You lean back in, hoping Bucky would get the hint.

“Well, that doesn’t do us much good now, does it.”

“James Buchanan Barnes!” You reared back and smacked him on his arm “We were having a moment- Ow! Your arm?” You rubbed your fingers to sooth away the sting from hitting his arm. It hadn’t yielded at all to your touch. 

“It’s nothing.” Bucky deflects your attempt to reach out to him. “We should get to bed. There is a lot to do tomorrow.” He takes a few steps back before turning around and leaving the room. Leaving you to sigh in defeat, no more ready for bed than before.


	5. Chapter 5

**Summary for the Chapter:**

> How will all of this resolve

The redhead, Natasha, had dropped off some clothes for you.  They felt a bit awkward, but they fit.  You gazed at yourself in the mirror, marveling at how different you looked.  You look almost like you belong here.  

 

That thought spoils your mood.  You wanted more than anything to stay here, stay with Bucky.  You don’t have much left in your old life, your family was small and now all gone.  But here, you could have a second chance. Bucky refuses to help, but maybe Tony and Howard can.  It takes you a while, but you find them in a lab working away on the transporter.  You note, to yourself this time, how similar they act.  In fact, Howard looks exactly like he does when he hasn’t slept.  Since they hadn’t noticed you, you backtracked to the kitchen, grabbing two coffees and a small bag of pastries.  

 

Tony and Howard don’t even notice you enter the room the second time.  You set the coffee and food down on a clean surface near them before clearing your throat.  It takes a few tries before Tony looks up, followed by Howard.  

 

“Coffee,” you ask with a smile and all the charm you can muster.  This plan has to work since you don’t have a backup.  

 

Howard moves first, greedily taking a cup and rummaging through the bag for a pastry.  You pick up the second cup and hold it out to Tony.  He contemplates your offering for a moment before taking the cup with a smile.  

 

“You’re not bad at this assistant thing.  Need a job?” Tony smiles, but his offering doesn’t feel like a joke.  

 

You huff out a laugh when you realize that he’s probably already worked out why you’re here and what you want.  

 

“I might have to take you up on that offer.  But for now, I’d like to know if I can see my file.  The one that you said was ‘suspicious.’”  

 

He grabs a thin folder from a table behind him and tosses it on the table next to you.  

 

“Thought you might appreciate it printed out.  I know how much trouble your boys had with all this newfangled technology.”

 

You pick it up with a smile, confirming your suspicions about Tony.  

 

“I couldn’t find anything, and that says something.  Maybe some fresh eyes will help.” You nod at Tony as you flip through the file.  It is really sparse.  Nothing much of note until you get to the last page.  It is a letter from Peggy confirming your MIA status.  

 

**Agent Y/N Y/LN has been confirmed as missing in action.  At this time, no further action is being taken.  Her work and home belongings have been placed in storage under her identification number.**

 

**Director Carter**

 

You read the letter through several times before looking up at Tony with a questioning glance.  

 

“Friday can provide you directions and access to the storage facility, and anything else you need help with.”  Tony said with a smirk.  

 

“Friday?”  you ask.

You stare at the ceiling in bewilderment when a voice rings out.  “Yes, ma’am?”  

 

“Um, where can I find Bucky Barnes?”

 

\--

 

With Friday’s help, you eventually find the gym.  

 

“Fuck,” he mutters when he spots you.

 

“You learned some bad habits in the army,” you scold.

 

“It’s Steve’s fault.”

 

“You always say it’s Steve’s fault.”

 

“It usually is.”

 

You huff out a laugh of agreement.  Quiet falls between the two of you because you don’t know how to ask the question you need to.  

 

“You look, you look like you belong here.”  Bucky breaks the quiet first.  His statement feels like he’s reading your mind.  

 

You look down at your clothes before smiling back up at Bucky.  “Actually, I need help with that.”

 

“No.”

 

“What?” you question angrily. “You don’t want me here?”

 

“It’s not that. You heard Bruce.”

 

“So you do?” you interrupt.  “You want me to stay.”

 

Bucky hesitates.  “More than anything, Bluebird.  But-”

 

“That’s all I need,” You interrupt again. “But if this works, you have some apologizing to do.”   Before he can question or stop you, you turn and leave.  You follow Friday’s directions, and with only a few wrong turns and trying to get into the wrong building on the first try, you find the storage warehouse.  

 

You identify yourself, and thanks to Friday’s help, the guard lets you in.  The worker at the desk looks bored and startled when you walk up.  

 

“Hi!  I need box 4857210.”  You bite your lip nervously hoping it would work.  

 

“Right.”  He clumsily types in the number.  After a few seconds, the instrument beeps and he raises an eyebrow slightly.  “This is an old one.  It says you need a password.”

 

Your eyes widen in surprise.  “Oh, um.”  Your brain races through possibilities before settling on one with a small smile.  “Bluebird?”

 

He’s skeptical at your uncertainty, but he types in the password.  After a few moments, it beeps again.  “You can have a seat, they’ll bring it out in a few minutes.”  

 

You sigh with relief and wait impatiently.  The crate is smaller than you expected.  They leave it and unlock it for you.  The dust flies as you open the lid.  It actually contains quite a bit.  Pictures, clothing, and some smaller trinkets.  But you ignore it all for the envelope sitting on top.  Your hands shake slightly as you open the envelope and slide out the letter inside.  With a smile, you turn to the man.     
  


“Can this be delivered to my room?”  you ask.

 

He nods wearily as you close the crate.  

 

\--

 

You were still nervous to drop this news in everyone’s laps.  Especially Bucky’s.  He said he wanted you to stay, but doubt began to pull at the edges of your confidence.  You should have known it would be Peggy who would erase your doubts.  You were rereading the letter over and over in the common room when she walked by.

 

“Has anyone mentioned that those clothes suit you?”  You turned as she spoke.  Peggy had chosen to stick with her uniform.  

 

“Not with those words, exactly.”  Your smile falters slightly when you think of Bucky’s reaction.  

 

“What do you have?” she asked.

 

“Oh,” you hand her the letter.  “It’s from you.”

 

Her eyebrows raise in surprise as she takes it.  Her mouth dropping open as she reads it.  You’ve managed to shake the unshakeable Peggy Carter.  Well, technically she wrote the letter, but you’d take a bit of the credit.

 

When she finished and looked up at you, her shocked expression grew into a large grin.  

 

“I know this has been stressful.  I have been so wrapped up in seeing Steve again, I haven’t been there for you at all.”  You tried to protest, but she cut you off.  “No, I at least had the chance of some closure with Steve.  You, on the other hand, never knew how he felt, how you felt, until it was too late.  I’m glad you’re going to get that chance.”  

 

“Chance for what?”  Peggy and you spun around at Steve’s question.

 

Peggy was quick to respond before you could and handed Steve the letter.  Smiling pointedly at Bucky, she said, “she’s staying.”

 

“What?!” Bucky snatches the letter from Steve before he can read it.  After a quick scan, Bucky looks up at you.  “Is this real?  What does this mean?”

 

“I found the letter in storage with my things.  No one else knew my identification number, but I did.  I think it means that I can stay.  That I’m meant to stay.”  You squeal with surprise when Bucky lifts you up and spins you around.  You’re dizzy when he finally sets you down.  “You’ve been kind of a jerk, you know?”  

 

“He’s always been a jerk,” Steve interjects.

 

Bucky glares at Steve over your shoulder.  “I don’t need your help right now, punk.”  

 

“Are you sure?” Steve asks.

 

“Steve,” Bucky threatens.  

 

“I’m just saying, I’ve been waiting on you to finally do this for a long time.”  

 

“Steve, how about we leave them alone?” Peggy coaxed, pulling Steve gently by the arm.  

 

Bucky smiles down at you.  “He’s right.  I had a million chances to do this, and I never did.  I’m sorry for that.  And I’m sorry that when life gave me another chance I didn’t grab it with both hands.  I just couldn’t get my hopes up and lose you all over again.  Can you ever forgive me, Bluebird?”  

 

You smile at Bucky, your Bucky. “I will,” his smile grows, “but for a price.”  

 

Bucky’s eyebrows raise. “And what’s that?” he asks.

 

“A kiss?”

 

“As many as you want, Bluebird.  As many as you want.”
